A white New Englander from the country–club scene, Tom passed up Harvard to fly fighters for his country. An African American sharecropper’s son from Mississippi, Jesse became the navy’s first Black carrier pilot, defending a nation that wouldn’t even serve him in a bar. While much of America remained divided by segregation, Tom and Jesse joined forces as wingmen in Fighter Squadron 32. Devotion takes us soaring overhead with these bold young aviators and into the foxholes with the Marines as they battle a North Korean invasion. As the fury of the fighting escalates and the Marines are cornered at the Chosin Reservoir, Tom and Jesse fly, guns blazing, to try to save them. When one of the duo is shot down behind enemy lines, the other embarks on one of history’s most audacious one–man rescue missions. An unforgettable story of bravery and selflessness, Devotion asks: How far would you go to save a friend? — ABOUT THE AUTHOR Hailed as “a masterful storyteller” by the Associated Press, Adam Makos is the author of the New York Times bestseller A Higher Call and the critically acclaimed Devotion. Inspired by his grandfathers’ service, Adam chronicles the stories of American veterans with his trademark fusion of intense human drama and close–up military action, securing his place “in the top ranks of military writers,” according to the Los Angeles Times. In the course of his research, Adam has flown a World War II bomber, accompanied a Special Forces raid in Iraq, and journeyed into North Korea in search of an MIA American serviceman. — AUDIOBOOK DETAILS Purchase on Google Play Books ►► https://g.co/booksYT/AQAAAAAMUjxSIM Language: English Publisher: Penguin Random House Audio Published on: October 27, 2015 ISBN: 9780553398427 Duration: 14 hr, 44 min Genres: Biography & Autobiography / Military, History / Wars & Conflicts / Korean War, Transportation / Aviation / History
